left-aligning text in a table header row

Post by Glenda King »

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up a table with 1 header row and multiple body rows, but I want the text in all rows, including the header, to be left-aligned. The Flare default seems to be centred text in the header row - what is the 'correct' way to set or change the alignment of text in a table row? I find it most frustrating that there is nowhere in the table .css properties dialog where you can set text alignment.

Many thanks

Glenda

Hi, Glenda,

First, in the stylesheet editor change the view from "Assorted relevant properties" to "All properties" (at least I think those are the terms - I don't have Flare open at the moment). This will let you see the alignment controls.

Second, for controlling the headings you'll want to adjust the TH tags.

HTH.
Until next time....

Kevin,

Many thanks for your response. Ironically, I've just updated to Flare 4 today (our licence keys got waylaid in our sys admin's mailbox), and I see there is now an alignment option on the Header tab! whoopee :D

regards

Glenda
